Non-selective beta-blockers

Propranolol
Timolol
Nadolol

Inhibit the Epinephrine- and norepinephrine- mediated compensatory reaction to hypoglycemia.
They inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis and peripheral glycogenolysis and lipolysis. For this reason, non-selective beta-blockers should not be used in diabetic patients.
